You struck me blind.
Now you’re all I want to know.
Meet me wild
in these open fields
and spread me through
the ground below.
Converging light
burned a course through me,
remaking who I’d been
and who I’d be.
You struck me blind.
Now you’re all I want to know.
Find me wild
in these open fields
and spread me through
the ground below.
Wandering marked
until you descend again.
Melting away in
this empty rain.
Shredded in
this hollow wind.
Currents return and
the arc defines the poles.
This circuit broken
and open –
conducting nothing
until closed.
You struck me blind.
Now you’re all I want to know.
divine me wild
in this open field
and spread me through
spread me through
spread me through
spread me through
the ground below.
